## Daily Death Cases
As of 3rd of Jan. at least 350K have died.
Holiday reporting quirks will likely blur the country’s data. Testing was expected to decrease around Christmas and New Year’s, and many states have said they will not report data on certain days. More typical reporting patterns were expected to resume in early January.

Top 10 states vs. Washington in terms of number of accumulated confirmed cases as below.
California’s worsening outbreak has canceled out progress in other parts of the country. The state has added more than 300K cases in the past week period, including records around Los Angeles, San Diego and Fresno.
Florida was averaging 11K cases a day as of last week, near its summer peak. Its per capita numbers remain far better than California’s. But Miami has persistently high numbers, and there have been upticks around Jacksonville, Tampa and Pensacola.
(County-level analysis will be shortely updated if you like it. Please Upvote for this job.)
Somes States such as California, Texas, and Florida where new cases are higher had a daily average of at least 15 new cases per 100K people over the past week.
New York had the highest growth in newly reported deaths over the last 14 days. Deaths tend to rise a few weeks after a rise in infections, as there is typically a delay between when people are infected, when they die and when deaths are reported. Some deaths reported in the last two weeks may have occurred much earlier because of these delays.
Looking at by subregion level, LA has highest confirmed cases followed by NYC. Of course, this needs to be considered with the population. I will take a look once I find the relevant data.
